My 11-year-old Dalmatian has high liver readings but shows no symptoms of liver disease. He is eating and behaving normally. He has been prescribed Rimadyl for joint pain, Destolit, and Ronaxan for suspected liver disease. Can these medications be taken together, and why were they prescribed if no symptoms are present?
